Haberman Selected as Creative and Media Strategic Lead to Launch Dole Whip at Grocery
New Full-Funnel Campaign "Have A Dole Whip Day" Reminds Fans That Joy Is Within Reach With The New Fruit-First Frozen Treat MINNEAPOLIS, July 17, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Following a competitive review, Dole Packaged Foods LLC has named Haberman, a Minneapolis-based modern storytelling agency, as creative and media strategic lead for the new Dole Whip® fruit-first frozen treat now available in select grocery stores nationwide. Haberman will lead an integrated summer campaign spanning creative, paid media, public relations, influencer partnerships and full-funnel strategy rooted in the brand's legacy and joyful storytelling. "Dole Whip has a unique place in pop culture, and its fans are truly passionate. Our team knew we had to honor that excitement and legacy in every detail," said Zach Keenan, creative director at Haberman. "The campaign brings together nostalgic animation and the everyday joy this treat inspires, whether you're a lifelong fan or just discovering it for the first time. It's not about escaping real life, but brightening your day, wherever you are." Inspired by the playful nostalgia of early "rubber hose" animation – think big eyes, bendy limbs, and that vibrant, vintage cartoon feel – the campaign stars a joyful, animated pineapple who skates, dances and sings his way through a magical world, inviting people of all ages to "Have a Dole Whip® Day," a simple yet powerful phrase reminding consumers that joy is always within reach. An original jingle and cheerful visuals capture the energy and optimism that sets Dole Whip apart. "Our 'Have a Dole Whip® Day' campaign is all about bringing a happy, sunshine feeling to everyday life," said Mike Secor, VP of marketing for Dole Packaged Foods. "Every fruity, velvety bite of Dole Whip delivers the delicious taste of sunshine. Haberman has been a wonderful partner, and we're excited to share the joyful campaign we've created together with consumers, inspiring them to enjoy a little more brightness and joy in everyday life." The new campaign, now live, features :06, :15 and :30 animated spots and will run across Connected TV, YouTube, streaming audio, paid social, programmatic display and influencer partnerships. "Dole Whip is strategically positioned for growth with a story that's already resonating with fans," said Nicole Arnason, media director at Haberman. "We're prioritizing markets where the brand is on shelf, using video and audio-first formats to amplify Dole Whip's new jingle, keeping it top of mind while connecting fans to Dole Whip near them."

Toni's Fish & Chips will offer 500 free pineapple fritters to in-store customers on Friday, June 27, in partnership with Dole Packaged Foods Europe to mark International Pineapple Day. Tao Baidoun, brand manager at Dole Packaged Foods, said: "With our recent research revealing that Brits are willing to try out more sweet and savoury combos, what better way to blend the two together than adding a sweet Hawaiian side to a classic savoury UK takeaway, and what better time to do so than International Pineapple Day.

Popular Disney theme park treat comes to grocery stores
From Mickey waffles to Grey Stuff, Disney theme parks offer some of the most iconic foods, which continue to set the brand apart from its rivals. Although delicious, its food offerings can only be obtained inside its parks, making every visit a unique experience, but also a sad goodbye. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter No other theme park has been able to make its park food as iconic as Disney has. However, one of the most beloved food items has exited the park doors and become available at local grocery stores nationwide. Related: Disney's Magic Kingdom adds once unthinkable attraction Disney (DIS) has one of the largest cult followings of any brand, with a huge fan base including both adults and children. Aside from its movies, Disney's theme parks are a central aspect of what keeps fans engaged. They allow visitors to interact with the characters and become immersed in the magic. Image Source:Disney World's Magic Kingdom was the first park to introduce Dole Whip in 1984, and the treat quickly gained fan-favorite status. Since then, the refreshing take on sorbet has become available at all its parks. Anyone who has visited Disney World knows that walking around the parks for hours under the hot Florida sun, especially during summer, can be excruciating. Related: Disney World adding new land, closing classic attractions However, when sweat starts to run down from everywhere and a break is much needed, there's one thing that can cure it all: the sight of a Dole Whip stand. Feeling the ice-cold cup and getting a bite of that refreshing pineapple whip makes many wish they could get it anywhere. Well now, that's possible. Disney fans will now get to enjoy their beloved Dole Whip from the comfort of their homes, since Dole Packaged Foods has launched the new Dole Whip frozen cups and made them available at Costco (COST) and select grocery stores nationwide. The single-serve Dole Whip is made with fruit as its primary ingredient and comes in two flavors: the original Pineapple and Mango. Although this might be the first time some have heard about this innovative move, it's not the first time the popular Disney treat has hit the freezer aisle.

However, Disney fans are a tough crowd, and when it came to recreating the beloved theme park treat, the products failed to meet their expectations. Dole didn't explicitly mention customers' dissatisfaction with the first release. Still, it has reformulated the product, and its website states that the new version offers an "improved flavor." "We worked hard to deliver a recipe that captures the flavor and texture people expect from Dole Whip," said Dole Packaged Foods President Orzse Hodi in a press release. "Now, we are bringing Dole Whip to freezers everywhere for fans to enjoy anytime, anywhere, bringing a little joy to everyday moments."
